Terms of use and data protection

Legal notice / Privacy policy

All users of the Swiss Real Estate Properties (hereinafter referred to as ‘SREP’) website are invited to read these terms of use carefully.

Agreement

By accessing this website, the user declares that he or she agrees to the following conditions, which are written in French, English, German, Spanish, Arabic and Russian. If the user does not agree to the conditions defined below or does not fully understand them, he or she is asked to refrain from accessing the site.

Data security and confidentiality

The Internet is an open network accessible to all. When the user visits the SREP website, third parties may draw conclusions about the possible existence of a commercial relationship between the user and SREP. The transmission of information on the Internet may be subject to disruptions, delays or data routing errors that are beyond the control of SREP or an information provider. SREP or the information providers are not liable for any damages or consequential damages resulting from such problems. Similarly, SREP accepts no liability for any loss or damage of any kind resulting from the use of this website or the information contained therein. The information on this site may be changed at any time without prior notice. When the user activates links on the SREP site, it is possible that he or she may leave the site. SREP has not verified the other sites linked to the website and declines any responsibility for their content, as well as for the products, services and other offers proposed there.

Data processing

The user authorizes Swiss Real Estate Properties to process and evaluate his data for marketing and risk management purposes and to draw up profiles in this respect. The user authorizes Swiss Real Estate Properties to offer him other products and services, including those of companies in its group. The user may revoke this authorization to process his data for marketing purposes or to send information at any time.

Collaboration with service providers (outsourcing)

SREP may outsource services to third parties (hereinafter referred to as ‘service providers’), in particular with regard to the processing of commercial processes, IT security and systems management, market research and prospecting, the determination of credit and market risks relevant to the business, as well as the administration of contractual relationships (e.g. processing applications and contracts, collection, communication with customers). SREP provides these service providers with the data necessary for the fulfilment of their contractual obligations and may, for this purpose, also transfer this data abroad. The service providers, as well as their employees and subcontractors, have a contractual obligation to ensure data protection in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Data Protection Act, to observe banking secrecy in accordance with the Federal Banking Act and to honor the duty of confidentiality. In this context, the user acknowledges that his data may be transmitted to service providers established in countries that may not have data protection equivalent to that in Switzerland. The user agrees that SREP may use electronic means to communicate with him. He also agrees to the transmission of data via the internet and is aware that the internet is an open network accessible to all. Consequently, SREP cannot guarantee the confidentiality of data transmitted via the internet. This means that third parties may conclude that a business relationship exists, or will exist, between themselves and SREP.

Personal data and data protection

Under Article 13 of the Federal Constitution and the Data Protection Act, everyone has the right to respect for their private life and to be protected against the misuse of data concerning them. SREP complies with these provisions. The user is invited to enter his or her personal data at various points on the SREP website. If he or she decides to communicate personal data over the internet or by e-mail, SREP will process this data in accordance with data protection legislation. By contacting SREP via the internet, e-mail or any other means, the user authorizes SREP to process and analyze his or her data, as well as to use it for marketing purposes and internal analyses in Switzerland and abroad.

The user has the right to revoke this authorization at any time. SREP may delegate services to third parties (‘service providers’), in particular in the areas of process flow, IT security, systems management, market research and canvassing, calculation of business-related credit and market risks, as well as the management of contractual relationships (e.g. application processing and contract execution, debt collection, communication with customers). The user accepts that service providers have access to all his data processed in this context. SREP may have this data processed in states that do not have data protection equivalent to that of Switzerland and may instruct service providers from such states to process this data. This data is only transmitted if these service providers have first undertaken to provide an adequate level of data protection. The user is aware that his data may be transmitted abroad and that this will also be done via the internet. He accepts this type of data transmission, as well as their processing in Switzerland and abroad. Swiss Real Estate Properties has the right to refuse this request without giving reasons. The user is aware that the internet is an open network accessible to all. Consequently, SREP cannot guarantee the confidentiality of data transmitted via the internet. Third parties may therefore draw conclusions about an existing or imminent commercial relationship between themselves and SREP. The user agrees to Swiss Real Estate Properties occasionally sending information about the company, its products and its services to his/her postal and email address. The user may withdraw his/her consent for the use of customer data for marketing purposes at any time in writing.

Right of access and correction of data

In accordance with the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act of 19 June 1992, any interested party may request, by sending a written and signed request to SREP, to be sent the data concerning them by post. If such data is no longer up to date, inaccurate or incomplete, the interested party may ask Swiss Real Estate Properties to modify the data concerning them accordingly. They may also ask Swiss Real Estate Properties to delete the data at any time.

Partial nullity

If any of the provisions of these terms and conditions is invalid, non-compliant or inapplicable, this shall in no way result in the invalidity, cancellation or non-execution of the other provisions of these terms and conditions. The invalid, non-compliant or inapplicable clause shall be replaced by another valid, compliant and applicable clause corresponding as closely as possible to the meaning and purpose of the invalidated clause.

Language

Only the French version of these terms and conditions of use is legally binding.

Jurisdiction and applicable law: Any dispute related to the site or resulting from its use or access is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of the canton of Valais, subject to any recourse to the Federal Court. Swiss law applies.
